Mark had brought his own bodyguards this time. Just as his bodyguards were about to get into a scuffle with her security, Sylvain stepped out. “Here to make a public denouncement? You move really fast. Jessica has left instructions—we’re not allowed to let you in immediately. She holds grudges. Wasn’t she barred from entering your office when she went to see you?”
Mark stared at him with contempt. “Does she really think that I won’t be able to get in?”
A flippant smile hung on the corners of Sylvain’s face. “She’s stupid. I’m not.” Then, he waved the security guards at the door away. The security guards immediately stood aside.
Mark led his bodyguards inside with a deadpan look on his face. It was clear that Sylvain’s relationship with Jessica was more than “inappropriate,” as he could do whatever he pleased in her office. It must be very special too.
Sylvain casually followed Mark into the elevator. “What are you planning?”
Mark didn’t answer. His expression turned even more grim.
Sylvain clicked his tongue. “You really are a snob. How does Arianne tolerate a big block of ice like you?”
Mark’s face filled with loathing. “You disgust me.”
Jessica didn’t mind his attitude. She pulled out a cigarette and lit it, then deliberately puffed at him. Her eyes filled with need. “Isn’t that a good thing? Your disgust towards me makes you think of me. Isn’t that right? Perhaps you might get fed up one day? Then the world will be at peace again. If you keep hanging my appetite in suspense like that, no one will ever be happy. What should we do then? I’ve met so many men before. You're the first one who has ever made my eyes light up and drawn me into stubborn pursuit.”
Mark tried to breathe in as little as possible. At this very moment, he hated the smell of cigarettes, probably because he was faced with Jessica. He even decided never to touch cigarettes again. “Who gave you the confidence to think that you could stand a chance in a fight against me? I ignored you in the past because I saw no need for it. Now, it seems that I’m forced to deal with a troublesome thing like you.”
